Verse*1 (Donald)*
This
goes out to you working to make ends meet And
this goes out to you working in your office suite This
goes out for you who fear there is no hope May
my passion inspire so, please listen in close This
is for my people struggling with education And
this is for my people excelling past expectations The
story is simple as our life pages turn From
our journey of passion may your conscience mind learn (Te
Awanui) Untarnished
flames step alongside us On
our journey Teaching
beam through our rhymes Humble
remains oh the spirit that guides the Concisenses
in our lives Chorus
*(Te*
Awanui) A
brief reflection Listen
in right here Of
my dreams Teleport
to another time Courage
enhanced Together
we're stepping forth no one can hold us back Through
where I've been We
are C O C O nuts from da city Verse
*2 (Donald)*
This
goes out to you who said we wouldn't make it This
goes out to those who said we wouldn't make the cut I've
seen my share of people spreading gypsy myths Crossed
paths with people dodgier stiffer than 50 pricks But
still there's never been an obsticle unecessary Looking
back the reflections that ish was legendary Donald
Fred, and Chelease back in 96' Chapter
1 of my Genesis Yo
Chapter 2 Now
that's a different story it was me leki Singing
hooks self explanatory Blossomed
to merge and direct harmony It
was about time we met the Fa'atasi Family Went
on to rock talent quest numerous, shows Last
minute rugged cuts haha sabre let 'em know (Feleti)
Hysterical
productions looking back that's history Dispite
the horrors of flat moments friendship remained the key (Donald)
Now
around 98' Arch Dynasty formed Chapter
3 D, H. and Fa'atasi joined force Pasifika
festivals Grey, Lynn community Laying
the foundation for this Nesian Mooli Chapter
4 into the final thought Reminiscing
back on lessons experience once, taught Continuly
proceed by any means see fit This
has been a brief reflection of how I lived Chorus
*Verse*
*3 (Feleti)*
Allow
me to take you back to where it all began Listening
to street poets black performing with my dad Yo
introduced to mcing by my cousin Scribe Way
before him and P-Money's thoughts synchronised Along
with trax and N A. T. formed the Fa'atasi family Representing
afakasi's C O. C. O. N. You. T's. Unveiled
hiphop in depthly and what it meant to me Completed
the evolution becoming an mc The
art form called open, doors by love of people Doing
gigs nobody else ever will concede to Bust
Acoustic stylistics with J P. like meditating Develop
my style and content for navigating Through
this shady industry which comes with no surprise At
this time D L. T. truly opened up my eyes He
said they'll try to change you but, don't let this phase you They
can't contain the truth simply, remain you So
with knowledge in my pocket And
a fist full of rhymes Progression
was constant Lyrics
slowly refined While
the ignorant critized stepping, on hollow ground Uplifting
belief of family encouraged my inner sound The
spirit guided me through turbulent monsoons A
K. A. the non believers with negative attitudes May
the music empower strengthening within your mental Unexpected
was the rise of these kats from city central Chorus
*Verse*
*4 (Junior)*
7
years out of dalve wolves to grey lynn/Ponsonby Living
the coconut life and dancing with the family A
E. C. G. be the group and aitutaki be my roots I
remember back in intermediate playing st pauls Basketball
25 on 5 yo what's the score Forget
about it no one gonna care about it Same
hood central society yo we like to party western
springs was my lily pad to get across the pond To
prepare for these rivers and these years to come And
introduced me to my brothers and Advanced to tropical
penguins but on that topic I'll not mention 1
year concentration The
time had arrived power to techniques Backing
tracks acoustic gats 4 mics Classroom
schedule practises to share mind and arise nesian
style The
4 mics now turn to 5 and sabre Promoted
from lyricist advisor to the monitors City
coconut behaviour as nesian mystik stands strong Coz
everybody knows it's on I
like to send aknowledgement to all those who set this foundation For
aotearoa music to build with self composition Crossing
streets down in bay Running
grey/Ponsonby as home base A
brief reflection of my days Chorus
